Tales From Earth:The London 2012 Olympic Bid

2005-12-03T21:53:10Z

Frankie Roberto:

Midday on Wednesday 6th July, and on Earth many people are staring at TV screens as International Olympic Committee Chairman Jacques Rogge steps up to a podium to declare the winning country in the contest to host the 2012 Summer Olympics. Opening the envelope and quickly reading the answer, Jacque Rogge declares, '' 'And the winner is ... London!' ''

Huge cheers erupt from the London bid supporters in the audience, in London, and around the United Kingdom. This is the finale to a two-year bidding process involving huge amounts of time, money and hard work. And the Games themselves aren't for another seven years.

The Olympic Games are held on Earth every two years, alternating between winter (cold climate) and summer (warm climate) games, and is a tradition dating back to the times of the Ancient Greeks. The Ancient version of the Olympic Games is said to have been partly a religious affair, with only male athletes, who performed naked in celebration of the human form. The Olympic Games were then reborn in modern times, starting in the late 19th Century, and have grown in size each year, with more and more athletes and countries now taking part. The only times that the Olympic Games have been suspended are in times of the two World Wars taking place in the mid-twentieth century.

To be given the right to host an Olympic Games, a country must formally submit a bid to the International Olympic Committe, formed of 115 members from many countries. Countries are generally very keen to host the games, as it draws media attention and tourists from around the world and can boost the local economy. Hosting the games can require a huge initial cost outlay though, as specialised stadiums need to be built, as well as other Games infrastructure such as transport links, athlete accommodation and media centres.

Before the London bid, the UK had submitted bids from other cities (Birmingham and Manchester), but neither city made it into the final shortlist. After these bids, it was widely thought that only London was a well known enough city internationally to stand a chance of actually winning. This caused some controversy however, as many British citizens felt that the north of the country would benefit more from hosting an Olympics Games than London, which is already widely perceived to receive more than its fair share of national resources.

The London bid does, however, involve one of the poorest areas of the UK - East London. Home to a diverse but fairly poor population, East London is an area that the government has marked for 'regeneration' - transforming derelict and run-down locations into new businesses and facilities for local people. The Olympic Bid ties into this regeneration strategy by creating jobs for local people and by leaving behind a legacy of sporting facilites.

The core location for the 2012 Olympics will be in an area that is currently an industrial wasteland on the banks of the Lea Valley. Housed in this area will be the Olympic stadium, where the opening and closing ceremonies are held, as well as most of the track and field athletics events. There will also be an acuatics centre for water-based sports (such as swimming) and a velodrome for cycling events. Some of the other olympic sports will take place in famous locations around London, such as the archery taking place in Lord's Cricket Grounds and beach volleyball taking place by the Horses Guards Parade. Gymnastics will take place within the infamous Millennium Dome, built at huge expense to commemorate the year 2000 on Earth.

One of the biggest criticisms of London's 2012 Olympic bid was over the provision of adequate transport. Whilst London already has a fairly extensive network of underground railway lines (the 'Tube'), suburban train lines and a large fleet of buses - these often run at capacity already. With the Olympics typically bringing millions of extra tourists into the city, there were questions over whether the transport infrastructure would cope. The bid team responded to these concerns by pointing out that the main Olympic Zone in East London was already well connected to tube and train lines, and that by the time the Olympics is held, there will be a new fast-speed line between Central London and Stratford (near where the games will be held in the East End). Special 'Olympic Javelin' trains will run as a shuttle service between London and Stratford over the course of the games, taking just 7-8 minutes to arrive.

By tradition, an Olympic torch is lit on the site of the ancient Olympics in Greece, several months before the games are scheduled to begin. The torched is then carried in a relay by runners around the world. For the 2012 Olympics, the torch relay is planned to include the countries of Nobel Prize winners (awarded to those who do work to advance the cause of international peace). After having been carried by hand from person to person, across great distances, the torch is used to light a caudron, which burns for the duration of the games.

Since London was declared the winning city, most of the preparatory work has been the formal processes of setting up committees and acquring the land on which new stadiums will be built. Before the 2012 Games takes place, however, there will be the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, a wholly different country. Citizens of London will no doubt be following this games with interest, wondering what they have let themselves in for...

Tales From Earth:The Politics of Power

2005-11-30T11:08:53Z

Frankie Roberto:

An issue riding increasingly high in the political agenda on Earth is the means by which humans are generating power for their civilisations, in the form of national (and sometimes international) electricity grids. The development of national electricity transmission networks is one of the key developments of the 20th Century on Earth, with this electricity now powering many aspects of everyday lives, from lighting and heating to domestic appliances and heavy industry. Since inception, this electricity has largely been generated through the burning of fossil fuels, converting this heat into energy through the use of older steam-based turbine technology.

Fossil fuels are fuels that are discovered buried deep within the Earth, having been formed many hundred of thousands of years ago through the fossilisation of plant and animal matter. This process of fossilisation removed huge quantities of Carbon Dioxide, absorbed into the plant matter through photosynthesis, from the atmosphere and buried it underground. The process of burning such fossil fuels, which are found in liquid (oil), solid (coal) and gas states, reverses this process, releasing Carbon Dioxide back into the atmosphere.

Carbon Dioxide has now been identified by Earth scientists as one of the primary 'greenhouse gases' - so called because they allow heat coming direct from the Sun to hit the Earth's surface, but reflect much of the heat radiating back from Earth. The overall effect is for the Earth's atmosphere to slowly rise in temperature. This effect - dubbed 'Global Warming' - can already be observed, but predictions of what damage it will cause in the future are harder to estimate. One known effect is that sea levels will rise - due to both the melting of polar icecaps and the warming of the seas causing an increase in volume. Over time, rising sea levels could mean that low-lying villages, towns and cities experience frequent flooding, perhaps eventually remaining permanently under water. Other effects may be an increase in extreme weather conditions (hurricanes, storms and heavy rainfalls) and a destabilising of local ecosystems.

On Wendesday 16th November 2005, Perplex City players who had completed the set of four blue hex cards were sent an e-mail congratulating them from the Academy.

However, it seems that the Academy's e-mail system managed to ''leak'' some internal e-mails at the bottom of these e-mails sent out to players. Each player so far has received a different e-mail fragment. They are arranged below in date order.

The top portion of the e-mail reads:

On Wendesday 16th November 2005, Perplex City players who had completed the set of four blue hex cards were sent an e-mail congratulating them from the Academy.

However, it seems that the Academy's e-mail system managed to ''leak'' some internal e-mails at the bottom of these e-mails sent out to players. Each player so far has received a different e-mail fragment. They are arranged below in date order.

The top portion of the e-mail reads:

<div style="background-color: #d6d6d6; border: thin grey solid; padding: 10px;">"Dear [player name],

Congratulations, you've solved a set of four Perplex City cards. We've rewarded you by [[Leaderboard|doubling your points]] for each of the cards in the set.

Your Perplex Point total is now ''[total]''. You have solved ''[x]'' cards.

We in Perplex City would like to thank you for your continued dedication to our cause. With your help, we are certain that the Receda Cube will be found and returned safely.

Sincerely, 
The Puzzle Scribe Team 
Perplex City Academy"</div>

Talk:User Policy

Frankie Roberto:

:''We have been seeing a high volume of spammer and defacer activity lately. So we are adopting a new policy, as follows:''

:''1) You must be logged in to edit pages. No anonymous edits. sorry.''

:''2) You must ask an administrator to create a login account for you. Well what's the point of requiring you to log in if anyone at all can create a user account? So now you have to ask someone to make on for you.''

I think this is a bit of a short-sighted policy. Surely part of the point of having a wiki is enabling the casual visitor to make quick changes? If you have to ''ask'' someone to create an account for you, and then wait for that all to be set up, then that's likely to put off a fair amount of people.

I know that spammers can be annoying, but can we at least try to combat them by reverting their edits, and blocking their accounts and IP addresses before locking down the whole wiki to a whitelisted set of users? I'm sure that we can have enough people regularly monitoring the site to combat the problem... --[[User:Frankie Roberto|Frankie Roberto]] 13:24, 11 Oct 2005 (GMT)
